The Glow Within: Acrylic Lightscapes by Rutger Paulusse
Published Oct 8, 2025
Amsterdam-based visual artist Rutger Paulusse explores the delicate intersection of light, geometry and color through his mesmerizing acrylic sheet paintings. He first made a name for himself in the digital realm, where he became known for working with gradients, textures and spatial depth, before bringing those same visual sensibilities into the physical world with screen prints and sculptural compositions that blur the line between painting and object.
His signature pieces are made of layered acrylic panels infused with soft transitions of color that seem to glow from within. These ethereal works invite viewers to move around them, revealing shifting tones and subtle changes in perception as ambient light interacts with the textured surfaces.
Minimalism and geometry are key elements of his practice, with abstract forms that suggest both landscapes and atmospheres. Through this ongoing exploration, Rutger continues to expand his dialogue between the digital and the tangible, creating what he calls “a new universe” where the two seamlessly converge.
